Music Assistant removes the ten-minute YouTube Music session renewal introduced in October. Tests found that renewing one copy of a sign-in cookie could sign out another Music Assistant instance or a download script sharing that session about twenty minutes later.
Bautista Igarzabal tested five sessions from one account and found that renewal did not extend their lifetime; an untouched cookie remained valid for twenty-one days. Music Assistant still saves cookie updates sent during audio extraction. Existing setup values keep their format, and the guidance to close the browser window used to copy the cookie remains.
